Russian football player “Ufa” Artem Samsonov in an interview “Match TV” He explained how he decided not to drink alcohol.
“There was no such dependency. It’s just that everyone drinks beer all the time. And I drank. After Europe, I started trying when I was 17-18 years old. I didn’t drink anything or smoke as a child. I haven’t tried anything like this. At the same time, if you remember all the excesses that have happened since then, you may crash.
I’m not going to tell anyone that you shouldn’t touch alcohol. Sometimes you can have a glass of beer or wine after the match. We are Russians, we cannot live without this. You still need to relax. But if possible, it is better not to even think about it,” said the defender.
Samsonov, 34, is a graduate of Moscow Torpedo. He played for the Black-Whites between 2007-2008, 2011-2013 and 2018-2023. He scored seven goals and ten assists in 223 matches with the capital team. In Torpedo, the defender won the First and Second Leagues.
Former player of the Ukrainian national team hospitalized because of alcohol.
